User Submitted Zoombinis Mountain Rescue Reviews (cont...)Date: 2002-12-28 Second Zoombinis Game Finally, there is another Zoombinis game. It took about five years, but I was so excited that I immediately rushed out and bought it. I was a little disappointed to see that the graphics had changed, so that all of the Zoombinis looked different. As soon as I started to play it, however, I changed my mind. Though it only has nine puzzles and three difficulty levels for each, the game is still challenging. The Zoombinis are living in Zoombiniville happily, until a storm makes some Zoombinis get trapped in a cave. They venture out to rescue the others, and find that the friendly Boolies have lost their mayor. Now, the Zoombinis decide to help the Boolies get back to Booliewood so that their mayor will return. Instead of the difficulty level rising for an entire leg, each level can now have its own setting. Once a group of 16 Zoombinis gets through a level any three times without losing any Zoombinis, the difficulty level rises. Math and logic are slyly disguised and placed in each level, without using numbers. Some of the new concepts include dimension labeling and binary addition. This long-awaited sequel to the first Zoombinis game is almost as good as Logical Journey, though I would rather have the first if I had to choose. If you like this game, try the original, Zoombinis Logical Journey, and the third, Zoombinis Island Odyssey. Date: 2002-07-10 Zoombinis Mountian Rescue! Zoombinis Mountian Rescue is a great game filled with tons of logic puzzles. Your goal is to fill up the boolie figure with boolies, and then the mayor will come back. You get to create your own Zoombinis, or have them made by the computer. You won't be wasting your money when you buy it! ( It makes a great gift by the way) Date: 2002-06-21 A fun and exciting game that can challenge gamers of any age The Zoombinis was one of the first computer games to challenge users of any age to try math equations without any numbers. Most people think that math means numbers. Well this game shows those people that ingenius ideas like this can not only teach young children valuable learning skills, but might teach some children better than a math class would. The follow-up however, isnt as original as the first, and the fun factor drops a bit. That doesnt mean you cant enjoy this game. There are still instances where you will find yourself pulling your hair out in rage, but it just doesnt compare to the original. In terms of Gameplay, replayability, and Fun Factor. Sure, its much harder, but a hard game isnt worth playing if it doesnt have anything else to offer. Date: 2002-06-12 ZZZZZZZ What A Bore Zoombinis Mountain Rescue was really,really boring. I have played the first on and it took me like 2-3 years to work on it. (only because 1) I didn't play it all the time and 2) I always wanted my dad to help me) ok now we are at a new type of adventure. I had to admit it was sort of enteraning at first then it got just plain boring. I was able to finish it in maybe and hour to an hour and a half and the worst part is you don't have to use all 635 (or something like that Zoombinis) you just need about 180. So I would not recomend this for somebody who want a chanllege, but if you want something fairly easy stick with this. If you want a chanllege take the oringal Zoonbini Adventure. Date: 2002-03-09 Zoombinis Mountain Rescue Fun, Secretly Educational.... My children received Zoombinis Mountain Rescue for Christmas, alongside Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I Spy Treasure, and the Sim Theme Park PC programs. Now that it is March, Zoombini Mountain Rescue is the only program that continues to challenge my 6 and 8 year old sons to think. They cannot memorize this game; it changes and requires constant problem solving. It's humor and fun hide the fact that this is an "educational program." This is a great way for kids to learn mathematical theory and logic! ( My Mother, a teacher, even used the 1st Logical Journey of the Zoombinis in her 1st and 2nd Grade classroom with much success. ) We had no problems with loading, display, and playing the program. The characters and challenges in both Zoombini programs are neither violent nor simpering. Kids at 6 years will need some parent help as they progress in Zoombini Mountain Rescue. Logical Journey of the Zoombinis was less difficult for the youngest gamers. Watch out parents! It's fun for all ages...
